Asking the obvious - do you have a license?

I don't know if there is anywhere to add the serial number after you have installed it (I have never had to do that).

But as you install it shoulld ask you if you have a serial number or a hardware key.
Make sure you choose the serial number.

I'm not sure but it may also ask if you want to install the student (educational), demo or professional version.

All I can suggest is to uninstall & reinstall.
Then make sure you choose the option for the serial number and not a hardware key.

There must be other students out there that have activated their license.
What did you do?
